[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1063731594, member: 2429"] Suggest you just use lots and lots of water to flush it out. Aluminium blocks don't rust that easily. And if your block is steel, then I believe there are lots of coolant flushes out there you can try to use. Just follow the instructions carefully. Unless you have a water temp meter installed, you can't really use the temp gauge on your dashboard as a accurate reading. You have to remember that engine oil has an optimum temperature to reach before it starts to lubricate properly. For example, 5W30 means the engine will need to be 100 degrees before it starts lubing at 30 weight oil. Inbetween that you're not getting full lubrication except from the 5 weight oil properties. Just make sure your car is fully warmed up before you drive your car agressively. There's a reason why the thermostat was designed into the system. If it really was useless manufacturers would have just saved money by not giving it to you. [/QUOTE]
